DAU. Degeneration

The film delves into the disturbing experiments conducted on both animals and humans, aiming to create the ideal individual. Set against the backdrop of a secret Soviet laboratory, it features a KGB general who overlooks the immoral activities of the Institute’s director and prominent scientists.

As the narrative unfolds, a radical ultra right-wing group infiltrates the laboratory disguised as test subjects. Their mission is to eliminate what they perceive as the decaying elements of the Institute’s community, threatening the fragile world of Soviet science. This blend of horror and psychological tension makes DAU. Degeneration a significant entry in the DAU Cinema collection.

With a cast including Dmitry Kaledin, Olga Shkabarnya, and Victoria Skitskaya, the film offers a chilling exploration of the extremes of human behavior and the ethical dilemmas posed by scientific inquiry. Collectors of genre films will find interest in its unique premise and the bold approach to storytelling.
